Tonnes of small reasons make Mac OS X better.
There are a large number of very small reasons a Mac is great to work on:
every version of OS X has sophisticated screenshot capability built in. CMD+4 provides a selector marquee. CMD+4+Spacebar takes just one window. CMD+3 takes the whole screen. You can set the format of the screenshot file and where Mac OS saves it. The inbuilt image viewing app is powerful -- it can view PDF and open/export to most other image formats; you can crop, resize, rotate, adjust colour balance, etc. Expose lets you quickly see all your open windows, or your desktop, or just the windows of your current app. Way better than ALT+Tab (which Macs also have) or Flip 3D (which Macs thankfully don't have.) The Dock is much more efficient to use than the Windows start menu and taskbar -- the icon opens an app or returns to it if it's already open. It doesn't become crowded when you have lots of windows open. Target disk mode allows you to boot a Mac into a mode where the whole machine acts like an external hard drive. Plug it to another Mac using Firewire and you have the easiest way in the world to do a system-to-system drive mirror. (Though, disappointingly, Apple didn't include this feature in its latest MacBook.) Quick look lets you view pretty much all major file formats by clicking on the file and pressing the space bar -- no need to wait for an app to launch. Windows simply doesn’t have this.

Yet if your optical drive fails, you can actually press a small button to retrieve the disc with Windows. Except Macs rely on a key on the keyboard. And if that doesn't work.....you're screwed. There's a whole better selection of games for Windows. Hardly any for Mac. You don't need to pay for the additional service packs for Windows-based systems, yet Mac users have to pay about £120 (about $230) for the update. What happened to a standard 2-buttoned mouse on Mac? Did they forget a button? 2 buttons is alot easier than 1. You can get your dream computer with a Windows-based system. You can control what goes in it, and what doesn't. Yet Mac users are stuck with the poxy standard operating systems. Just 5 of the hundreds.

You forgot to add Windows 7 in the poll. In my opinion, windows 7 is the best windows ever far better then windows xp
